Hebrew UniversityNefarious Cover Up at the Hebrew University!!!http://thejewishpress.blogspot.com/2008/08/nefarious-cover-ip-at-hebrew-university.html Posted by Steven Plaut Friday, August 1, 2008 The tale of the Hebrew University rapist professor of sociology, Eyal Ben-Ari continues to gather steam. So far, no one in the mainstream media in Israel has taken note of the fact that he was in fact also the supervisor of that "Non-Rape Means Racism" thesis. In any case, it is now emerging that a big part of the real story here is yet another cover-up by the heads of the Hebrew University. It is not the first cover-up – see this. The women who were abused, molested and raped by the good professor, a leading member of the Tenured Left at the Hebrew University, had filed detailed complaints about him to Hebrew University campus authorities. In a long expose in Maariv today (August 1), alas – not on their web site (but scanned and posted here), the paper reproduces a letter (shown here from the Maariv article) that was sent to the Dean of Social Sciences at the Hebrew University. It was suppressed and ignored. The chiefs at the Hebrew University circled their wagons around their comrade, the rapist professor. Interestingly, Maariv also mentions the fact that Ben-Ari bought a vibrator and charged it to university research funds. (I am starting to wonder whether I am in the wrong discipline, being an economist. We never get to buy fun stuff with any of OUR research funds!) Maariv reports that two of the female students of Ben-Ari had nervous collapses and one of them was hospitalized after being molested by him. Maariv claims that Ben-Ari made it clear to all his female students that, er, let us say - "pillowing with him" was a prerequisite for getting him to sponsor them as research students. That being the case, inquiring minds would like to know more details about the relationship with Ben-Ari of Tal Nitzan, the student who wrote that infamous thesis claiming Jewish soldiers do not rape Arab women because the Jews are such racists. Haaretz is also doing a good job at exposing the story even though the perp is a member of the Tenured Left. In English see this. See also this piece about the professor's research vibrator.
